Welcome to Mamamia’s Open Post. If you don’t know about this weekly Wednesday tradition, it’s one of the ways the Mamamia community connects with each other about the events occurring in their lives. Tell us anything that’s happening with you in the comments section below, and feel free to ask other MMers for advice, air your grievances or share any exciting news from the week so far.
This week our Open Post comes courtesy of one of the youngest work experience candidates we’ve ever had at Mamamia.
Sixteen-year-old Abby has travelled from Brisbane to join us for a week. Abby recently participated in YMCA’s Queensland Youth Parliament — where she was awarded Best Youth Parliamentarian of the Opposition 2014 — and is a regular volunteer with Zonta, an international club dedicated to advancing the status of women. She also recently presented at the Brisbane Writer’s Festival during a youth session.
But this week, it’s all about A Dress.
Over to Abby…
Welcome, welcome! It’s a pleasure to be writing this week’s Open Post.
So, firstly, I should introduce myself. My name’s Abby and this week I am completing work experience with Mamamia. I just have to say, it’s as amazing as you imagine it in your dreams. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much fabulous fashion in one space. It’s seriously like Christmas has come early and it honestly, just never stops giving.

I'm tired. It's been a big year. My bloke has only just started his new job and will be on unpaid leave between Chrissy and New Year. I have to work over that period, with some time here and there for him. Then I'm on leave when he goes back. It's been like that all year!
I'm hoping to go and have some time with a friend in QLD - feel the need to get on a plane and have a 'holiday'.
My week starting look massively up when I discovered Aldi truffled salami. Oh nom nom nom!
